You don't need this for an organic clutch DD IMHO. Just resurface the stocker.

It has nothing to do with the clutch material. I've just liked driving every car I've owned better with a lightweight flywheel than without. Faster free revving and less wear on your synchros since they have less rotational mass to deal with.

He likes drag racing tho, so that will kill his launches.

Not with a stock clutch it won't.

Not that I'm making WRX power, or even that I can "launch" my lil RS, but I noticed it takes more feathering with my fidanza flywheel, with the same clutch kit he's getting. Maybe more power will make up for it, because I noticed I accidentally launched and chirped the tires a bit last time I went to sea level.

Yea honestly I absolutely love the OEM clutch feel. I had a mini revelation. My WRX clutch has been shuddering, not catching immediately for 1-2 months it was just so subtle I didn't really put it together. I know this because after hearing you guys talk about new clutch feel and it grabbing aggressively right away. My Honda S2000 had 1800 miles on it total and the clutch felt INCREDIBLE because it was obviously new but broken in.

Thanks for the ideas Kevin. Honestly i'm transitioning jobs so even an extra 200-300 for a flywheel probably wouldn't be smart. My plan is put the OEM new clutch in and resurface flywheel for now and when I save a little cash i'll buy a top of the line clutch and flywheel. I know clutches can be a great mod.

What? Fiscal responsibility with mods while in a state of financial flux? Unpossible.

More or less what I already described, though I would add some aggressive declutch during the middle drive on downshifts to try and break up the glaze by torquing in the other direction. I think MattR has thought his stock STI clutch was dead for 2 years now and it comes back with a few bedding launches.

Keep in mind that a LW FW will add the Subaru deceleration noise. No biggie, but it should be known. I like the ACT Streetlite but it's not a big difference over stock AFAIC tell.

Bet my clutch i got put in at 60K miles is pretty much done already .. (89K) I've done a few 5K launches with the DCCD Locked... on the bright side i learned an STI can hop with out hydrolics I **Might** *might* have a Light wheel fly wheel to sell cheap... I bought one thinking it was legal in my rally class and after a 2nd more careful examination it looks like i "Glazed" over the "same material clause as offered by manufactor" clause... don't suppose subaru offers Chromolly steel flywheels eh? I think ansel is getting my stock one lightened and i'm gonna swap that in and he'll get my chromolly one... stupid confusing rules.... |

STI you still want us to do your commute with you this week? Austin said it's a real nice drive so i'm down to try it. I'm thinking i'll drive to Sacramento to get my stop and go break in driving done too.

Awesome man appreciate it Chris. Yea the drive we can all figure out. Austin said around Tahoe is very fun. I'll probably also do Sacramento the next day too so I get some of the stop and go I need. BTW holy shit going uphill from a stop is a nightmare with a slipping clutch. I had to brake while on a huge speed bump section in this apartment complex and my clutch slipped in a weird violent stutter/shutter way and almost stalled twice. Jesus man my clutch better come Monday or Tuesday like it's supposed to.

Chris check my post about help installing a clutch. I'm putting off install until Saturday or Sunday due to late arrival of clutch kit so more of you probably will be free to stop by and eat some Pizza and help for an hour or 2. I'm going to keep the food coming all day lol. Probably Chinese food for everyone for lunch and Pizzas for dinner or something like that. Beer and soda too.

I'm surprised your clutch is going out. You drive an '06. I sold my '02 with 75k on it still on the stock clutch. So, unless you drive it inappropriately or someone else has, it shouldn't go out as quickly as it has.
